The Kia EV9 totally rocked the 2024 World Car Awards! It was like the star of the show, winning not just one, but two awesome awards. Imagine that! This event happened at the New York Auto Show, where over 100 car experts from 29 countries came together to check out 38 different cars. Cool, right?
So, let’s talk about the Kia EV9. It’s this super cool electric SUV with an amazing design and performance. It first showed up as a concept car in India in 2023, and now it’s winning big time! It bagged the World Car Of The Year (WCOTY) title, beating out tough competitors like the BYD Seal and Volvo EX30. Plus, it also snagged the 2024 World Electric Vehicle Award. That’s double the excitement!
This car is part of Kia’s electric lineup, along with models like the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. And get this, it’s coming to India soon, giving us two battery options to choose from – one that’s 76.1 kWh and another that’s 99.8 kWh. How cool is that?
But wait, there’s more! Hyundai showed up with its Ioniq 5 N, winning the 2024 World Performance Car title. It’s all about speed and power, zooming from 0-100 kmph in just 3.4 seconds! And it can go as fast as 260 kmph. That’s like lightning!
Now, let’s talk luxury. BMW totally nailed it with its 5 Series and i5 models, grabbing the 2024 World Luxury Car Award. It’s a big deal for them, marking their ninth win in 20 years at the World Car Awards. Impressive, right?
And last but not least, Volvo joined the winner’s circle with its EX30 electric crossover, winning the 2024 World Urban Car title. This isn’t Volvo’s first rodeo; they won back in 2018 too with the Volvo XC60. Way to go, Volvo!
